Women are currently underrepresented in STEAM careers and Girl Scouts wants to change our future workforce pipeline by exposing and engaging girls in STEAM programs that spark their interest and increase their confidence and competence in STEAM. We invite you to support Girl Scouts in middle and high school (6-12) who want to learn more about architecture, engineering, design, and construction through our STEAM Design Challenge! Girl Scouts groups, supported by professionals in these fields, will design and construct a freestanding structure from empty cookie boxes centered around a theme of “What Girl Scouts Do”.

We are seeking professionals to act as mentors and supportive adults for Girl Scouts, as they complete the STEAM Design Challenge. Participating girls will be recruited by GSCO and you will work with your STEAM Design Team two times per month for at least 90-minute sessions. The dates and times of the sessions will be decided ahead of the program and Girl Scouts will select their groups based on the times that fit their schedules.  

See the STEAM Design Challenge Team Info Flyer for more information and check out the WiD forum to organize a team.
